"If a book had to be praised for its merits in defining the anxieties of our post-9/11 society, then Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist would be the one to win" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
"I read Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist with increasing admiration. It is beautifully written - what a joy it is to find such intelligent prose, such clarity of thought and exposition - and superbly constructed. The author has managed to tighten the screw of suspense almost without our being aware it is happening, and the result is a tale of enormous tension. I read a lot of thrillers - or rather I start reading a lot of thrillers, and put most of them down - but this is more exciting than any thriller I've read for a long time, as well as being a subtle and elegant analysis of the state of our world today. I was enormously impressed" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
"An elegant, artful, haunting novella - a deceptively simple narrative that is in fact deeply ambiguous" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
"From the start, I was gripped...There's an almost delightful allegorical symmetry to the flow of events, as well as a sensuousness and finish that might belong to some other form of art: music, perhaps...Hamid manages marvellously well in creating a novel that's rendered entirely in terms of the spoken word, and governed by the shape of what's evaded or not uttered" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
"A fantastic piece of work, superbly considered and controlled, with a lovely stillness and wisdom at its heart"
--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

二○○○年出版处女作《蛾烟》(Moth Smoke),获得贝蒂·特拉斯克奖并入围美国笔会海明威文学奖,被《纽约时报》选为年度好书。二○○七年出版《拉合尔茶馆的陌生人》,入围布克奖最终决选。
中文書名取作拉合爾茶館的陌生人其實跟原書名完全不同,不過對中文讀者而言,顯然是這個名字比較更能討喜、親近。拉合爾 (Lahore) 在那裡?它是巴基斯坦的第二大城市,人口約300萬,它是蒙兀兒王朝的首都,現存有世界最大的清真寺之一。 書一開始就是一名巴基斯坦男子...
评分有一天,一位美国公民来到了巴基斯坦拉合尔市的某家茶馆,在他打算吃顿便饭就离开的时候,我们的主人公——一位餐厅痴汉出现了。他牢牢揪住这个美国人进行了一番长篇大论的独白,深情地讲述了他曾经为之奋斗的美国梦,以及这个梦最后破灭的过程:他是如何意气风发的从普林斯顿...
评分和陌生人闲聊其实很安全,时空、利益都无交集。那要和一个疑似敌人的在一起,就得担心自己的小命了。 莫欣-哈米德试图玩弄一种独特的叙事手法,由一方讲述,另一方静默倾听。《陌生人》的主角成吉思怀揣着失望、愤怒的情绪回到家乡拉合尔,他已经逐渐蜕变为一个仇视美国的激进...
评分摩尔的王公招募哥特基督徒,巴格达的哈里发征调突厥和呼罗珊,等到突厥人得势时他们雇佣库尔德人从军——众所周知,努尔丁的库尔德军师里走出一个响当当的大人物,他被十字军侵略者敬畏地称为萨拉丁。 西亚北非的回教邦国大多有这样的习惯,他们蓄养同信回教的异...
评分书名从英文直译而来,是不情愿的原教旨主义者。从英文词典和维基的解释来看,包含两层主要意思,一是说信奉基督教的原教旨主义者,重点在基督教。另外是说严格恪守经文教义,不接受新观点的教条主义者。中文一书将名称定为拉合尔茶馆的陌生人,是整本书的叙事场景发生在一个茶...
